  1. Babar Azam has scored five fours in his 22. This was the first...

  2. Pak 45-1

    Don't bowl there, Nathan! It's down the leg side and even though Imam misses the ball with the bat, it flicks off his hip and four leg byes are added to the total.

  3. Nathan Coulter-Nile is replacing Pat Cummins.

  4. Pak 40-1

    Target 308

    Pakistan are just below the required run-rate at this early stage. They are going at exactly five and over and they currently need 6.38.

    Here's the one wicket to fall...

    Ilyas Najib: If Pakistan are to win today, they need Azam to hit a ton. He is the Virat Kohli of Pakistan and a batting superstar. I’ve probably cursed him now!

  6. Pak 39-1

    They might not need singles if Babar Azam keeps playing like this. A good delivery from Kane Richardson which rises on the batsman is guided just past short fine leg. There's no stopping it once it beats the infield on this small ground.

  7. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Test Match Special

    There is some early encouragement for Richardson.

  8. Pak 34-1

    An early bowling change. Kane Richardson into the attack...

    He finds the edge straight away! It's a good delivery with Imam pushing forward but the ball falls short of Steve Smith at slip.

  9. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    Babar Azam is playing a lovely hand so far, I just hope he can continue.

  10. Pak 34-1

    Target 308

    The one thing I would say is there haven't been many ones and twos for Pakistan. It has been a good start for them with eight boundaries but there is very little rotation of strike. Pakistan will have to do that too.

    It's four dot balls after that boundary in Cummins' over.

  11. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on Test Match Special

    That was a half volley but he didn't half put it away well.

  12. Pak 34-1

    Here we go! Pakistan fancy this. The shot of the match so far from Babar Azam punishes one in the slot from Pat Cummins. It's perfectly safe along the ground but four.

  13. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on Test Match Special

    That's a great over for Pakistan - one bit of luck but then two crackers after that.

  14. Pak 30-1

    Imam 17, Babar 12

    Imam again finds the boundary! Starc overcompensates after the bouncer and bowls a half volley on leg stump. The left-handed opener puts it away perfectly.

    And again! Pakistan are away. This is too leg side from Starc. A little flick down to fine leg brings the third boundary of the over.

    The noise levels lift a bit more.

  15. Pak 22-1

    A bit of support from Babar Azam's cousin, former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal there.

    Here's another boundary for the men in green. It's a top-edge but Imam-ul-Haq gets it over the wicketkeeper.

  16. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on Test Match Special

    This is like a Test innings - the field is set for wickets, fast bowlers striving and batsmen trying to dig in.

  18. Pak 18-1

    Target 308

    Oh and again! Babar Azam drives Cummins beautifully for a second four in the over.

    "Pakistan Zindabad," chant the crowd. It's clear who most of these supporters in Taunton are backing.

  19. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was a fine stroke.

  20. Pak 14-1

    Classy. This is a much better shot from Babar Azam. He crunches Pat Cummins through the covers to the boundary rope.

    He can certainly play and that should settle him down.
